"Similitude" : Line-By-Line!

Travis: "Aye, sir.

Four point five. Four point six. Four point seven. Four point eight."

The deck begins to shudder.
 
Tucker: Initializing Stream Compression.

The Plasma Readout from a Wide, uncontrolled stream to a flat controlled stream.

Tucker: Damn, that's a beautiful sound.
 
The Enterprise is now back to being a smooth ride.

T'Pol: (examining read-out at the Science station)

"Field fluctuations have dropped to zero."
 
Archer: We just got our second wind.

Enterprise starts shaking again.

The readout on Tuckers Screen changes from the controlled flat line to an out of control Red, burning line.
 
Tucker: (com voice) "I've got a primary injector flare."

Cut to Engineering where all hell is breaking loose.

Trip runs and mounts the platform.

"I'm shutting down. It's not responding, Captain."

Flames all around, he dives off again... running around the side. This time climbing a ladder in order to get on top of the warp reactor itself.
 
^ Missed a bit of important detail 3 or 4 posts back.

Trip has to remove a lid on top of the warp reactor, in order to manually shut it down. He replaces the cover and begins to move back the way he came... but an explosion rips through the side wall, knocking him through the air, striking the high walkway on the other side and down. He falls in slow motion, landing on his back... his head hitting the floor below. Silver metallic dust settles on his face.

The Enterprise abruptly comes out of warp, and into a field of red clouds.

T'Pol: (replying to Archer) "Some kind of polaric field, approximately eleven thousand kilometres in diameter. Composition unknown. I'll need more time to complete a detailed scan."
 
Hoshi: "Numerous injuries throughout the ship. Mostly minor... except for one.

Commander Tucker. He's been taken to Sickbay."


Later in Engineering and repairs are already in progress, as a crewmember in welding mask and torch tackles the damage inside the ruptured section.

T'Pol is nearby, padd in hand overseeing the work. Ducking one of the glowing pipes connected to the far end of the reactor, Archer approaches behind her.
